Hi all, I am very new to all this but ran out of resources to find a solution for my issue (including all the AI bots out there). I am trying to build a simple wheel + vehicle mechanic and control. Movement is simply forward/backward/left/right. I am able to steer the wheel left (testing with left…

Hey and welcome! Let me summon our Physics overlord: @Cedric

Yo @qv1 Seems like alot of extra stuff… You should be able to accomplish the same thing with just a rigidbody and four raycasts for the wheels… Thats how most physics based driving games are made. For example Ammo.js uses btRaycastVehicle class. Here is an older Ammo.js I created before: My Demo R…

And here is a video showing the city map and mustang car assets that I used with the Babylon Toolkit to create the demo racer project

Thank you for the reply. I didn’t know about the raycasting approach. I will try to read about it and see what I need to do. Simulating physics is important for my project, is using traditional physics to simulate movement that unconventional?

Thank you for the resource, very helpful - though a bit of an overkill for me. I don’t need suspensions and all that complex mechanics. I just need forward/backward/left/right movement, think of a warehouse robot kind of motion a few examples: [image] CASE STUDY: a Warehouse Robot An a…

I love @Raggar ’s PG Documentation needs improvement to have, at least, a good intro to vehicles with Physics V2.

Me 2 … I used @Raggar Havok Raycast Vehicle Physics as a guide to create my Havok Raycast Vehicle… I added a bunch of stuff I had in my custom ammo builds for high speed driving and smooth surface collisions. My version is heavily modified to give you that fast paced and high speed need for speed s…
